A couple of beers is one thing. Drunk is something else.
I've seen guys on stage who couldn't quite manage standing up straight. It never ends well.
The hardest thing for me was learning how to make friends with the crowd. I think for musicians this is a bit harder, since we're more focused internally. A comedian has to engage the crowd by definition.
Crowds are scary. Getting used to them is hard. But it's also where the rush comes from.
Caution: You may get addicted.
